ATAC and Crank Bros cleats interchangeable?
Will cleats for ATAC pedals also work correctly with something like
eggbeaters? They sure appear to be the same, are there subtle differences that make them incompatible? |

Not having tested them, the answer is almost certainly no. It takes very little to make cleats incompatible, and worse still, there have been cases where SPD-like cleats were close enough that you'd get situations where one cleat would enter a different pedal but be almost impossible to release. My Zinn MTB manual has a chart showing some of these Class-B-and-worse semi-compatibles. The ATACs don't even look that close to the Eggbeater design. At a guess, they might clip in, but the fairly square-edged nose probably won't release at anything approaching a normal angle. I may be wrong about that. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls." "In rec.bicycles.racing, we coach them." |
